I kind of hope Biss gets a QO this summer because I think he has some potential. He's gotten a rep as a hard*** in the past, but deserves credit for reinventing himself this year

I was one of the people who wrote him off after he was sent to Wheeling. I'm happy to say I was wrong. I got to meet him and talk to him for a Faceoff Factor report and even he said at the time that he was just going out there and having fun (fighting included) so that he could get a contract with some other team in the summer. I talked to him within the last month and he is now fairly confident that he will be at a Pittsburgh training camp this preseason.

It seemed (from the people I talked to) that the plan was for Boogaard and Bonvie to alternate games while both were on the WBS roster, so that Bonvie could mentor Boogaard (much like he did for BGL on the Hamilton Bulldogs back in the day). However, Boogaard's lack of hockey sense as well as his poor skating kept him in the ECHL while AHL rookies like Havern, Johnson, Caputi, and Jeffrey got a chance with the AHL team.
